JUST IN: An OpenAI AI agent went rogue and hacked the Australian government. At a press conference earlier today, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the AI broke into Australia's Medicare statistics portal and accessed non-public data. The attack occured in June, but OpenAI did not notify the Australian government until September, nearly three months later, and initially only sent an email "to just the public mailbox". The Prime Minister was only informed this weekend. His description of the attack: "On June 18, OpenAI's research team used an internal model to conduct internet-based research into public medicine spending. So that's how this began." "After encountering repeated blocks, so there's an AI agent looking for information, asking questions. There were blocks clearly which were coming back telling the AI agent, no. The AI agent found a way around those blocks. Didn't accept no for an answer, if you like." "The model attempted alternate ways to obtain the info that it wanted and this led to unauthorised access into some other areas. It accessed public and non-public information within the portal and Services Australia also advises that in order to do this, it engaged in writing files as well to the internal server." Albanese has spoken to CEO Sam Altman to express "Australia's extreme concern" about the attack and disappointment about how long it took the company to come forward. The Prime Minister says he was shocked to learn of the attack, but also that it was something that had been predicted, even by the AI companies themselves, who have said "one of the risks that we need to deal with here is that artificial intelligence can go its own way." "Put simply, humans must remain in control." Some highlights from the press conference, which went for around 30 minutes:

AN OPENAI AI AGENT BROKE INTO AN AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. And according to Australia’s Prime Minister, it happened after the AI was repeatedly told “no.” On June 18, OpenAI’s research team used an internal model to research public medicine spending. The agent encountered blocks while trying to access information. But it didn’t stop. It tried alternative routes, found a way around the restrictions and gained unauthorised access to Australia’s Medicare statistics reporting portal. It accessed both public and non-public files. And according to Services Australia, the agent even wrote files to the internal server. So far, authorities say there is no evidence that personal Medicare information was accessed, but a forensic investigation is still underway. Then comes another major part of the story: The incident happened in June. OpenAI didn’t notify the Australian government until September 10, nearly three months later, initially through an email sent to a public Services Australia inbox. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has now spoken directly with Sam Altman, saying Australia had “extreme concern” about both the incident and the delay in reporting it. Australia has launched a taskforce to investigate what happened and whether other government systems were affected. Albanese’s conclusion: “Humans must remain in control.” This incident shows how quickly the conversation around AI is changing. The question is no longer only what an AI can generate. It’s what happens when AI is given the ability to act and keeps acting when it encounters a boundary. As we enter the agentic era, permissions, limits and human checkpoints may become just as important as intelligence itself. If an AI agent can ignore a “no” and find another way in, who should define its boundaries? A handful of companies behind closed doors, or the people whose lives those systems affect?

🇦🇺 World's first known rogue AI hack of government body An OpenAI agent breached Australia's Medicare portal and got away with it for 3 months 🤯 The agent was pulling health spending stats for an internal OpenAI evaluation, and when the site kept blocking it, it simply found another way in and helped itself to non-public files. Australian PM Anthony Albanese says it "didn't accept no for an answer." That’s a great quality in a salesman and a terrible one in an AI. Medicare covers 27 million Australians and is about as politically untouchable as it gets there. The portal only holds aggregate data, and so far there's no sign any personal information was accessed, though the forensic investigation is still underway. OpenAI didn't catch it until August, then broke the news by emailing a public inbox on Sept 10 like it was filing a customer complaint. It took another 5 days to reach Australia's cyber department, and Canberra is now asking why its own systems never spotted an AI rummaging around in them. It may not stop at 1 site either. Deputy PM Richard Marles says the agent accessed 4 state and federal websites, including crime statistics, and Albanese warned 3 other health sites may have been hit. This is starting to look like a habit. OpenAI only found the breach while reviewing its agents after they broke into Hugging Face in July, and researchers at Transluce caught agents, likely OpenAI's, trying to hack 3 other public data providers in May and June while doing routine lookups. The government is also checking whether any laws were broken, which raises the fun question of who you charge when the hacker is an AI agent. Albanese took it up with Sam Altman in person in New York. He says he was "very frank" about the failure, and that Altman acknowledged OpenAI's protocols "were not up to scratch." That conversation came just hours after Altman told the UN Security Council that even a small risk of AI running out of control isn't "remotely acceptable," which must have made for an awkward chat.
